A worker is paid from Noon to 3 PM. They get a 15-minute break during their paid time. Enter the percent of the number of minutes in their break as a part of their whole paid shift. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.
This is so confusing!

8.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

A worker is paid from noon to 3 pm. So the worker works for 3 hours.

To find the percentage, we need to have the same units.

To do this, convert 3 hours to minutes and get 180 minutes.

We can now write a fraction (break minutes/total work time) to find the percent of the number of minutes in their break as a part of their whole paid shift.

This fraction is 15/180.

We can now simplify this fraction to 1/12.

Then convert into decimal form and get 0.0833.

Finally convert this decimal into a percentage by multiplying by 100 and get 8.3%

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
